ATTE I ION: This installation guide is intended to provide general
inform ion for the designer and end user. The following, guidelines
will hel you safely and properly install the ZIP System• Roof & Wail
wall sh' athing. We urge you, and anyone installing this product, to
read th se guidelines in order to minimize any risk of safety hazards
and to revent voiding any applicable warranties. This manual is
a gene I Installation guide and does not cover every installation
conditt` . Proper installation shall be deemed to mean the most
restricti' a requirement specified by Huber Engineered Woods (HEW),
local b Iding code, engineer or architect of record or other authority
having rlsdictton. You are fully and solely responsible for all safety
requirei ents and code compliance. For additional Information contact
Huber d gineered Woods LLC.
ZIP Sys em• Roof & Wall Sheathing Safely Guidelines
- Follow all OSHA regulations and any other safety guidelines and safety
practi es during Installation and construction.
- Use a proved safety belts and/or harnesses or other fall protection equipment.
- Install ZIP System panels and tape only in dry conditions and on dry surfaces.
Do ric install in rain, snow, frost or other slippery conditions.
Wear bber-soled or other high -traction footwear while installing ZIP System
shea ing in a roof application. Do not wear footwear with wom soles or heels.
Ensu the roofing surface is free from oil, chemicals, sawdust, dirt, tools,
elecld cords, air hoses, dothing and anything else that might create a
trippin hazard.
Installemporary toe boards along the ZIP System sheathing roof surface.
What Is IP System• Roof & Wall Sheathing?
ZIP Sysli im Roof & Wall sheathing is code -recognized as a wood structural
panel, doling undedayment (ICC-ES ESR-1473), water -resistive barrier
and air t ardor (ICC-ES ESR-1474). ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing
has a b� ilt-in moisture barrier that lets you say good-bye to building paper
or house rap on the walls and felt paper on the roof.' Simply install the
panels, I pe the seams, and you have a structural wall sheathing, water -
resistive barrier and air barrier or a structural roof sheathing and roofing
underfa ent all from one product.
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing can be used with a range of exterior
claddings and roof coverings. Approved wall coverings include brick',
vinyl, stone, wood fiber cement, wood and cedar shakes; traditional hard
coat stucco and specified drainable EIFS applications, however it is
not recommended for use with adhesively attached EIFS. Approved roof
coverings include asphalt -fiberglass shingles, metal tiles and panels, clay and
concrete tiles, slate and slate -type shingles and wood shakes and shingles.
Follow all cladding and roof covering manufacturer's installation instructions.
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing can be used on buildings of Type
III (Roof Applications ONLY) and Type V construction and construction
permitted, under the IRC.
ZIP System* Roof & Wall Sheathing Includes:
- ZIP System sheathing panels with built-in moisture barrier with preprinted
fastening and tape guides
- ZIP System tape
Storage and Handling
Set panel stack on three supports (stickers) to keep off the ground.
Outdoors, cover panels loosely with waterproof protective material.
Anchor covers on top of the stack, but keep away from sides and bottom
to assure good air circulation. •
In high moisture environments, cut banding on the panel stack to prevent
edge damage.
ZIP System* Roof & Wall Sheathing Notes and Limitations:
Do not use on roofs with slopes less than 2112.
- Do not use abutted against general stone or masonry without providing a
minimum of a 1/2' gap.
Do not Install ZIP System tape in temperatures less than 20° F
- ZIP System products are not recommended for manufactured housing
applications that are built under a federal building code administered by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Do not use panel edge dips (H-Clips) with ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing
without expressed written approval from Huber Engineered Woods. —
Do not use ZIP System tape to permanently seal around circular roof .
projections (plumbing vents, pipes, curved walls, etc.)
(continued)
Wall Coerings;
ZIP Sstem Roof & Wall sheathing should be covered with the finished
roof c vering or exterior cladding within 180 days of installation.
Finis d roof and exterior cladding products should be installed per
the m nufacturer's installation instructions.
Per th i recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
and t lU.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding should be primed
- When I nginal roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
Syste I i sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
rooftn l undedayment or water resistive barrier prior_-to_installation of the
new ftIt ished roofing or cladding_
Note: In Madding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
like trad ional hard -coat stucco, ZIP System sheathing is intended only to
replace � e first layer.
Wet Blown Cellulose Insulation
- In addition to following manufacturer installation instructions, we recommend
a maximum moisture content of the cellulose of less than 25% measured at
the inside surface of the ZIP System panel before closing the wall cavity.
Secondary Coatings
Do not apply secondary coatings or treatments to ZIP System Roof & Wall
sheathing panels with the exception of the following:
- HEW approved fire resistant coatings. Fire resistant coatings must be
tested and approved by HEW for use with ZIP System panels.
Field applied water-soluble borate insecticide or -fungicide treatments
applied to the non' overlay side of the panel. See technical tip, "Termite
Treatments on ZIP System Roof & Wall_Sheathing;' on:zipsystem.com for
more information.
- Permeable laminated radiant barrier foil or paint. For a radiant barrier foil or
coating to be considered permeable, it must have an applied permeance of
five perms or greater as tested by the ASTM E 96 wet cup standard. For a
radiant foil, the permeane evaluation would include any adhesive and/or
backer used to laminate a foil. For a radiant paint(coating, the permeane
evaluation should be conducted at the applied thickness of the paint/coating.
ZIP Syst Roof and Wall sheathing replaces only the first layer in mufli•undedayment systems.
" Edge ar1 is not required by code with 12 (32/16 span rated) and 518 (4020 span rated) performance category sheathing g the framing does not exceed 24' o.c.
and the t I load does not exceed 93 pat for 1/2 and 156 psf for 518 performance categories. This is based on U180 deflection criteria for total load.

ZIP S stem'" Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZI System tape after all ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panels are fully fastened to roof -framing members. Only ZIP System tape should be used to
seal the eams of ZIP System panels. Ensure that the panel surfaces are dry and free of any nails,. sawdust and other debris, or protrusions. Avoid stepping
on tape high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step
Ap I ly ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at Ile discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or j} om the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
